Part I: Student Technology Use Survey
Collecting data on your students' technology use in school and at home will help you understand what Web 2.0 strategies could be successful in planning your weather and water lesson lesson.
In 2008/09 a TRITEC-led project, designed to help district's integrate technology into the history classroom, conducted a student technology survey. Teachers participating in the project learned to use laptop computers, input devices such as flip cameras & USB microphones, and Web 2.0 strategies.
The data from the student technology survey was collected by our evaluator using SurveyMonkey. SurveyMonkey is a popular Web 2.0 application for collecting survey data.
As a teacher, you have probably been asked to complete many online surveys. Online surveys can be an efficient method to collect, review, and share survey responses. Take a look at the High School Student Technology Survey Report (2009)
You are encouraged to have your students complete the science student technology use survey.
Once enough teachers in the course have had their class complete the survey, a summary report will appear in this workshop.
Click for the Student Tech Survey Link
[Copy and paste the Student Tech Survey Link on your lesson wiki page to allow your students to take the survey.]
View student results by following this summary report link. Please note you will see summary results for other schools.
Part II: Investigating Student Assessment Examples Using Web 2.0 Tools
The following activity is organized into three levels: Basic, Intermediate and Advanced.
Basic
The Basic level requires the least amount of time to quickly create and/or find an assessment tool that can be added to your Teacher wiki page.
Intermediate
Intermediate level assessment tools often require registration, meaning that you need to create a user account. They are usually free to get started, but additional features are provided for paid memberships. Some investment of time is required to create an interactive assessment that can then be embedded on a wiki or shared through a link.
Advanced
Finally, the Advanced level of assessment tools will require a user account. These Web 2.0 tools tend to have a learning curve that can require a few hours to get started. Once you have completed your first Prezi or Glogster, the second should take significantly less time. One more point, advanced level Web 2.0 tools will have many methods to share out your work. Embedding on a wiki is just one method.
ACTIVITY 1
